Chapter 602 Spend Your Money and Follow My Research Methods
Viscount Aylwin was given a bill.
One bill, plus a request form. The amount was so huge that even though he was a viscount, he was still a little stunned when he saw it:
"2,000 gold coins? All spent in two days? Still need 3,000 gold coins? Master Nordmark, you...you..."
Spending it too quickly?
Just because I paid for it doesn’t mean you can spend it as much as you can!
"We have achieved certain results." Facing the donor, Grete smiled sincerely, and when he spoke, he tried his best to speak in a direction that the other party wanted to hear:
"We have preliminarily determined the method of displaying cardiac blood flow and the type of medicine. Furthermore, we conducted experiments with a half-sized piglet that is about the same weight as a boy, and preliminarily determined the amount of medicine needed."
He pushed through the lab notebook. Viscount Alwin turned over page after page, his surprise and inexplicable unhappiness gradually subsided:
The Nordmark mage uses a potion to treat minor injuries. Seriously, there is nothing cheaper than this among magic potions. It can be seen that Master Nordmark did not spend randomly and tried to save the experimental cost as much as possible.
Every experiment has an experimental purpose, and the medicine used is accurate to 0.5 ml. After calculating the number of potions used before and after, he found that not only was he not overcharged the 2,000 gold coins, but he was also given a small change.
As for the cost of casting spells during the experiment, Master Nordmark abided by the previous agreement and did not charge a penny. If this amount of money is added - it is customary to pay a spellcaster to cast a spell - the fee will more than double.
"The plan we have set now is that for each cardiovascular imaging, 25-30 ml of potion for treating minor injuries is required." Grete continued to explain to him:
"On half-sized piglets with the same weight and similar heart size, first do 10 groups and observe the piglets' reaction. If the safety is good and the effect is satisfactory, then artificially create piglets with atrial septal defects and do another 10 groups. Study the bolus site and the angle of development.”
When he said this, he sighed helplessly:
"This is the minimum number of experimental groups, it cannot be less." 10 groups? In a previous life, would you dare to do only 10 groups of animal experiments?
Whether it is the FDA or the China Food and Drug Administration, they will reject it directly!
But 3,000 gold coins was really a lot of money, and if Viscount Alwin was trying to pluck the wool from a sheep, he was a little reluctant to do it.
Viscount Aylwin nodded silently. He can also understand and agree with Master Nordmark's experimental ideas. But he was still a little confused:
"According to your plan, you need to insert the vine into the heart and then release the healing potion? Isn't this... too dangerous?"
We wanted to verify the child's condition. Originally, it was because it was too dangerous to insert the vine into the heart, so we wanted to check it in advance! In the end, it goes around and around, or does it have to be inserted into the heart?
Why bother!
"Of course it's dangerous." Grete said seriously:
"Any invasive operation, or even any operation, will be dangerous. It just depends on the magnitude of the risk and whether it is worth it. In Mr. Ling's case, the previous diagnosis method has been enough to confirm the diagnosis, and it can actually be treated directly."
But if you want to see the blood flow in your heart, then you have no choice but to study a magic. Of course, Gretel did not say this.
Viscount Alwin frowned. He flipped through the experimental records again, rubbing the adverse reactions on it with his fingertips, silently lost in thought:
Ventricular fibrillation, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest...
Even if one of these things happens to my son, I can't bear to think about it!
Is 2,000 gold coins a lot? a lot of. Is 5,000 gold coins a lot? More.
However, if you can save your son, even if it costs 10,000 gold coins, you can do it! What I'm afraid of is that after a long time of work, I will lose both my life and money...
He thought for a while, thought again, and gritted his teeth:
"You still need 3,000 gold coins? No problem! However, I have a request - can it be done directly on people? I will bring a few children here and try it directly on them and let me see the effect..."
Halfway through his words, Gretel started shaking his head. After finishing the whole paragraph, Gretel's expression became serious:
"No. The animal experiments have not been completed and must not be done on humans - even if they are completed, they cannot be done on healthy people."
This was done in the early years. In the early years, more than one doctor conducted experiments on himself and his children when experimental animals were not available:
Drink Helicobacter pylori, swallow the vomit of yellow fever patients, and drop trachoma pathogens into your eyes...
But performing unnecessary, dangerously invasive procedures on healthy children?
This is not allowed!
This is against medical ethics!
"Why?" Viscount Aylwin didn't understand at all. He thought for a moment and patted his chest hard:
"Don't worry, the children I bring will definitely be my subjects or the children of my servants - even if something goes wrong and someone dies, no one will come to trouble you."
Alas, how precious is a family member of a patient who is willing to guarantee that there will be no medical trouble - even if it is to guarantee that others will not make trouble. Grete still shook his head. Viscount Aylwin thought about it again and thought he had guessed Gretel's thoughts:
"I will not let them take risks in vain. For every child who undergoes the experiment, I will give them a reward, one gold coin per person - this is enough to convince their parents! These days, even if a child of five or six years old is killed on the road, , you can’t even pay a single gold coin!”
Gretel lowered his eyes slightly to hide the sadness in his heart. The Viscount is right, the lives of poor children these days - or, the lives of people these days, are so cheap.
In fact, it’s not just this world, even the previous life...
Why has India become a haven for generic drugs? Why can the Indian government not protect the intellectual property rights of pharmaceutical compounds but not be sanctioned by developed countries in Europe and the United States?
That's because many large European and American pharmaceutical companies tacitly test drugs on the poor people of India at extremely low prices...
But it still doesn't work. When it comes to medical ethics, if you take a step back, a large number of people will suffer. Today you can do invasive experiments on healthy people, but tomorrow, maybe someone will dare to dissect a healthy living person.
He continued to shake his head. Viscount Alwin frowned and became a little anxious:
"Why doesn't it work? Hey, Mr. Master, you are taking my money! Even if you take my money, can't you make one for me according to my ideas? I only hope you can make one! One!"
That certainly can’t be the case!
Some of the funders who provide research funds can control the direction of research, and some can influence the direction of research. However, I have never heard that the financial owner can dictate: Don’t use this kind of animal! Don't use this instrument! You don't want to...
Is this a joke?
He really wanted to say, "That's definitely not possible. If you don't agree, I don't want the money." But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It would intensify the conflict too much. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously:
"Your Excellency Viscount, from the perspective of our healers, there is no distinction between high and low in human life. Whether it is your son, the son of a poor man, or a servant, you cannot hurt one person for the sake of another person's life. This is actually the same Protection for all—"
He raised a finger to stop the viscount's retort:
"If today, I can do experiments on healthy poor children for your son. Then tomorrow, if the king's son, the son of a great nobleman, or the son of a legendary mage falls ill, can I do experiments on your son? "
The viscount was silent. He still felt that Gretel's words were too pretentious and unworldly. However, this kind of truth cannot be refuted for a while, and if I don’t refute it, I’m not willing to do so——
Should we simply withdraw our investment? Withdraw funding, there is no need to check the heart condition, just treat it directly?
Anyway, Master Nordmark also said that the child has been diagnosed and can be treated directly...
Well, let's think of another way. You can make more money, but it is not easy to have a child. Jennifer is not in good health...
Grete observed his changing expression and suddenly smiled. Using healthy children for cardiovascular angiography violates medical ethics. Using children with congenital heart disease for examination is another matter!
"Otherwise, do you think this is okay?" He suggested softly:
"After I perfect animal experiments, you can find some sick children and I will check and identify them. If it is confirmed that there is congenital heart disease, then use cardiovascular angiography to check. This does not violate my principles."
Viscount Alwin's eyes lit up. He hesitated immediately:
"So, the cost..."
"As before, you are responsible for the cost of the treatment potion. Of course, you are responsible for all the human and financial expenses of finding and gathering those children, and convincing them and their parents to accept treatment. I don't have the ability. ."
Viscount Aylwin lowered his head and calculated silently. Gretel added lightly:
"After these children with congenital heart disease are found, I will treat them - just practice. After curing ten or eight, I will treat your young master. I am much more sure, right? Don't worry, the cost of the treatment is not required. You come out."
Viscount Aylwin's eyes widened. What a great idea! I wrote in the paper that I had treated one person, but how could I treat ten or eight of them in front of him, making him feel relieved?
"That's no problem! Leave it to me!"
He immediately puffed out his chest. It's a piece of cake to find some sick children, in workhouses and slums, there are as many as you want!
Gretel smiled secretly. Come on, the proportion of babies with congenital heart disease is about 0.4% to 1% of babies born - that is to say, if you search Nevis City, you can probably find about 160 to 400 babies that year.
The problem is that in slums, such babies are easy to die and difficult to raise. Want to find dozens of children around five or six years old with congenital heart disease...
emmm…
Good luck.
If he really found it, he wouldn't mind giving it a cure. After all, it was about treating illnesses and saving lives. And, collect some cases and publish a big paper?
An isolated case is nothing. If there are more than ten or twenty cases of congenital heart disease, it would be better for Mrs. Alva to have the name "Miracle Doctor Gretel", right?
I'll go talk to her later and see if I can get some funds to cover the children's hospitalization expenses!
